[Ids-devel] IDS 0.6a3 available

[John M. <mo...@mu...>]

Good evening.

An IDS 0.6a3 distribution is now available.

http://arwen.hn.org/~john/

This pre-release version includes Oren Teich's sort-by-date code and 
quite a few improvements from Randy Maas:

> 	1. create a configuration variable called "albumIconName"; this
> 		defaults to ".album.jpg".  But the configuration variable
> 		is changeable.  This is neccessary to folks like me who
> 		have webservers that consider files that start with a '.'
> 		to be security risks.
> 	2. Fixed a couple of typos in the messages
> 	3. Fixed the date format to be more legible.
> 	4. Checks to see that the guestComments setting is actually
> 		defined before overriding the default value.
> 	5. More checking that image preview directory (cache) exists and
> 		is sensible.
> 	6. Eliminates unneccessary undefs
___________

> 	* a bit more checking to make sure variables are defined or have
> 	  reasonable values (ie, no divide by zero)
> 	* A couple of lines of comments to help explain parameters to a
> 	  subroutine
> 	* removed a redundant declaration
> 	* fixed a typo in an error message
> 	* made rename work for the image cache (or atleast a bit more of
> 		the image cache)
> 	* removed a loop label that was unneccessary.

[Ids-devel] IDS 0.6a4 available

[John M. <mo...@mu...>]

Howdy.

An IDS 0.6a4 distribution is now available.

http://arwen.hn.org/~john/

New in this version:
- Randy Maas' latest patches
- Support for jpegtran (you'll need to enable it in the admin CGI's prefs)
- A command-line script to pre-generate thumbnail images

There are at least two areas on which I'd appreciate some Perl wizards'
advice:
- the revised rotateImage function in the admin CGI: I haven't used the
system function much, so I'm not sure how to do error-checking.
- line 379 in the admin CGI: This doesn't work if I enter an invalid path
for jpegtran.

Thanks,
John
